If you haven't already I would suggest making a resume for future attempts to gain sponsorships. The more professional you appear the more your stock will rise in their eyes.
Good luck!

Who said anything about striking it rich?
Its not about the money to be made, its about the passion for the sport. I'll go to school, I'll find a career. If I can somehow slip my way into the industry and find a career there, all the better.

Free advice, WH....so take it for what it's worth....lol....
I got into the game of golf.....and LOVED it. I got pretty good at it. I wanted to have a career in the game. I got a job at a CC....and went through the PGA Apprentice program....ecoming a PGA Member in 1994. When I left the business.....I was SO BURNED OUT on golf....I didn't touch a club for 7 yrs.
I joined a club here, locally a few years back.....and it's fun,, again. It's fun because I don't HAVE to do it. I've seen this happen to a LOT of people in that industry.....and I can't help but think hunting is similar (industry-wise). I can't see there being a ton of jobs that would afford you the living to do the things you likely want to do in this pastime....within that industry.
I'm not trying to burst your bubble, either. I'm just telling you from experience......when someone tells you to go hunt.....it may make you look at things differently.
Again.....the advice cost you nothing.....
Good luck.

RE: Proshop Sponsorship
Jeff,
I completely understand what you mean and I appreciate the advice.
What we're trying to steer clear from is just that, being told when and where to hunt. If a sponsor doesn't accept our style of doing things, we'll drop them plain and simple.
Like I said, for us it isn't about the money. We want to do this because we absolutely love our sport. If anything were to get in the way of us enjoying ourselves while doing something we enjoy as much as bowhunting, we;d get rid of the problem.
Thats the plan anyhow, but who knows how the cards are going to be dealt. Things may take off quickly and we may be consumed by it or they may go exactly how we want. Its a new adventure for us and we're ready for it.
The type of videos we intend to produce won't be filled with simply kill shots. We intend to do what we can to inform people why we do what we do, why we shoot what we shoot, etc. Hopefully we'll pull it off. If not, we'll have a blast doing it.
